Application

Elastic AI SOC EngineApplication

An AI security-operations layer that correlates alerts from a customer's existing security tools, prioritizes threats and guides response workflows without replacing their SIEM.

Elastic AIOpsApplication

GenAI- and ML-driven capability inside Elastic Observability that automatically detects, diagnoses and helps resolve operational issues, providing recommended actions for SREs.

Elastic LLM ObservabilityApplication

Monitoring capability inside Elastic Observability for generative-AI and agentic applications: performance, cost control, guardrail tracking and reliability for GenAI workloads.

Elastic SecurityApplication

Agentic security-operations platform unifying SIEM, XDR and native automation, with autonomous agents handling detection-to-response workflows and purpose-built AI skills for threat hunting, alert analysis and detection engineering; supports multiple LLMs including on-premises models.

Agent platform

Elastic Agent BuilderAgent platform

A builder for custom AI agents that answer questions and take actions over data indexed in Elasticsearch, using configurable tools, skills and prompts.

Elastic WorkflowsAgent platform

An automation engine that runs both scripted steps and AI agents which reason through investigations and execute response actions against data in Elasticsearch.
